Anyone here have GERD?
I use to, but now I take a small shot of applecider vinegar
and this fixes it mostly,
Yup. Apple Cider vinegar and Ginger. You can get the tablets too. Not trying to plug Swansons vitamins online but they have great prices. 100 pills for 100 either one of these is about $2 to 3.
Losing weight and sadly cutting down carbs also helps. Sadly carbs as you get older should be cut back but grains (breads) and tomatoes taste so good. :-(
My advice exactly to try this inexpensive remedy before going to the huge expense of specialists. I told my daughter this remedy just a week or so ago when she had very bad, painful heartburn. I told her heartburn is NOT an over abundance of stomach acids as most people thing, but a LACK of stomach acids. I told her to take a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Within 5 minutes she could feel it abating and within about 10 minutes she was fine. She was astonished. She said it tasted like crap, but was happy it worked.
